Streamline-moderne Pennwood clock
1 Attachment(s)
Not radio/TV related, but I thought you guys would like to see this really cool Pennwood numechron Tymeter clock. It's called the "Moderne" and is a great example of asymmetrical streamline-moderne art deco. The most suprising thing about it is that although it was produced in the early 1940's, production continued through 1959! This one is dated 1959! What's good about these later ones is that they used a heavily swirled catalin-like main body and colorful numerals unlike the early versions. The case is all tentite and they tend to warp to some degree. This one had a little twisting to the base, but displays very nicely. It's pure eye-candy for sure.

Reminds me of the clock my OM got in the 60's. Twas a John
Glenn man in orbit with a Merc capsule on it. Looks like the same mechanism IIRC. Clocks of this type were rare & space age at the time. The cats ass. Miss that clock..... 73 Zeno:smoke: LFOD ! |
